Minion Blog
A few weeks into the Untouchables work in Chicago, they had the Anarch Underground buzzing. The following is a data intercept from a blog connecting various minions in the area. The typos have been left intact.
[INTERCEPT OF POSTING RE: THE UNTOUCHABLES]
BARON KARZA69: I know people have been asking about this, particularly some big boys who seem to be recruiting now or at least hunting or something. Anyhow, I’ve put together a quik list of what we know now about the,m.
Shutdown: A Syzmanski which means he’s only good against other supers. I read somewhere that he’s their leader, but I think you can leave him for last. He’s probably wearing armor. Rumor: I’ve heard that he’s tied up with Firstborn and his girlfriend Transcendence. That could be bad or good—might be able to sell him off or it might draw the attention of those a-holes.
Grey (?): MENTALIST. Take her out asap. She’s a tiny little thing but she seems to know Kung-Fu. Fast, she has to be taken out quickly and at range. Big objects, trucks, nets, those kinds of things, number one on the list for who gets K.O’d. I heard from one of the guys that she led the charge in to the bar. Might be reckless.
Bolt: God I hate speedsters. Fats and hard to hit—solution as always, drawn from the Minion manual—“Autofire and Objects.” You can get some things to hold him: sticky spray guns, nets, etc but you need to get him in a place where he can’t dodge away. Plus he does that human top thing which is a pain. Two other solutions: flash grenades to send him flying off and gases or smoke. He’s an Aussie, which means he’s probably a Hunter so if you do capture him, he’ll weak out pretty quixcklyu.
Onyx: This is their brick, she’s got a Drammen glow so be careful. She’s not super dense, but you should probably play the environment off of her—she has to have leverage to lift things. I heard she punched in the window at that bank robbery and that stuff can take heavy arms fire. So don’t get punched by her. Better to hit her with disorientation, things that rely on dodging, etc. Grapples won’t work and neither will straight physical. xjAnubis49 suggested using Hero-B-Gone packs. That’s no a bad idea—she doesn’t seem to have a transport power.
Roaming Wolf: Hard to say what his deal is. Probably a Rakepaw and they can be just about anything. HTH combatant!!! Make sure to keep him at range if at all possible. He’s fast and can jump around. May have to lock him up inside. He must be sneaky too, maybe some stealth powers because I headrd he got up behind the robbers at the bank before any of them saw him. Probably ought to treat like their brick. OOH you need to watch out and not underestimate him since we don’t know exactly what his powers are.
Cruel Butterfly: We’ve got pretty good info on him from the Japanese Fan Groups. He’s got a whole dossier available. Check [here], [here] and if you want to see something funny theirs a fan page with all of his TV commercials from japan [here]. He’s got a little bit of Braddock and a little bit of Drammen blood. The first thing you’ll notice are the Wings—he’s apretty good flier and hard to hit. SOP is an entangle or something to drop him down, which apparently Transit did to him when they fought Kingdom Come. However, those fruity wings secret some kind of caustic acid which will burn through most of the stuff you’d use for that. It also means you shouldn’t try to grab them unl;eess you have glovers on. Plus, if you get too close he can shake the wings and spray acid in your face blinding you. WEAR GOOGLES!!! That seems to be the extent of his superpowers, but he got outfitted when he was in Jpan and has some nasty equipment: a glue gun to he can reach out and pin you down. The gun’s trademarked and VillainNet has a solvent formula you can make in your kitchen…the problem is you really need a partner to spray it and you may not have time. He’s got armor but more importantly they gave him a utility belt. I don’t know much about it since I can’t read Japanese, but they say it is super-cool. It might be for show, but I’ve seen these freak (in general, not just these guys), pull things out of their pockets and laid waste to whole squads of agents like GI Joe on crack./
That’s what we have so far--- if you have more, feel free to post.
